One does not need to be a Christian to appreciate the beauty and fineness of Conwell's prayers. He is likely at any time to do the unexpected, and he is so great a man and has such control that whatever he does seems to everybody a perfectly natural thing. His sincerity is so evident, and whatever he does is done so simply and naturally, that it is just a matter of course.
"This one thing I do," is his private maxim of efficiency, and a literalist might point out that he does not one thing only, but a thousand things, not getting Conwell's meaning, which is that whatever the thing may be which he is doing he lets himself think of nothing else until it is done. Dr. Conwell has a profound love for the country and particularly for the country of his own youth.
Annie reddened, buried her cheeks in the fur of her mother's sable muff with which she was toying, and gave a sidelong glance at Mrs. Conwell's face. The study of it assured her that there was no use in "begging off" this time; so she silently laid down the muff and walked to the window. Mrs.

But the tide turned ere long. Colonel Conwell's work on the paper soon began to tell.
Conwell's lecturing has been, considering everything, the most important work of his life, for by it he has come into close touch with so many millions literally millions! of people.
Conwell's own experience, his observations of life had told him that this great need existed, but it was brought home to him practically in 1884, when these two young men of whom he speaks in the letter quoted came to him and said they wanted to study for the ministry but had no money. His mind leaped the years to those boyhood days when he longed for an education but had no money.
Martin Conwell's thoughts went beyond his plow furrow, Miranda's further than her bread-board; and so the little home had an atmosphere of earnest thought and purpose that clothed the uncarpeted floors and bare walls with dignity and beauty. The Family Circle. An Unusual Mother. What She Read Her Children. A Preacher at Three Years of Age.
"That's Conwell," said one of the young fellows. "Nothing of the kind," replied the other. "What's the matter with you? Catch him out a night like this."
